Just wrap them well in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer.

Tips to Make Chocolate-Filled Cookies

Make sure the butter is softened but not melted. This helps create the right texture for your cookies.
Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour. This will keep the cookies soft and chewy.
For extra chocolate flavor, use a mix of chocolate chips and chocolate filling.

Variation

Feel free to change up the chocolate filling! You can try using white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or even caramel.

FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but it may change the flavor and texture slightly.

2. Can I add nuts to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans can add a nice crunch to your cookies.

3. How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are ready when their edges are lightly golden and they are set in the middle. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
